Our Work

Functional reach-in closet

With a bit of design, a standard reach-in closet can be turned into a functional and inviting storage space.
With the current trend of removing furniture from rooms to make them less cluttered, the option is to add drawers to the closet. This removes a dresser from the room, making it more spacious while concentrating clothes in one organized area.

Nostalgia themed garage

This classic car owner needed a clean, dust-free space for his pride & joy.
PremierOne's epoxy base-coat & polyaspartic protective top-coat were the perfect choice to offer long life, ease of clean-up and style.
Stairs leading to the house and guardrails were coated to add to the 'wow' effect.

Over-sized double garage

This over-sized double garage was finished using PremierOne Hybrid System in Sedona flake.
An 8 inch baseboard to seal the walls & floor joint and a concrete step was coated to make a smooth and eye-appealing transition.

'Midnight Blue' PremierOne epoxy flooring

This stunning garage is used for building & storing model airplanes and was completed in Midnight Blue flake, the client's 'flying' colours.
PremierOne Hybrid Coating System was an obvious choice for its epoxy base, polyaspartic protective top coat, look and dust control.
The coated high stemwalls add to the overall warmth of the space.

Coach house brilliance

This coach house was designed with style and functionality in mind.
The owner wanted to have ample storage, a clean and durable worktop and of course - pizzazz.
Tailored Living red Powder Coated cabinets with plenty of storage space, an 11 foot, one piece maple butcher block work-top, knee space for a swivel chair and a wheeled unit with drawers to store day-to-day items required to maintain the coach.

Blue Ice

This three car garage in Caledon was trimmed out in our 'Blue Ice' decorative flake to give it a stand-out look.
Epoxy base coat, flake and topcoat - our PremierOne Hybrid Flooring System, means the garage will be easy to clean & maintain, look great and enhance curb appeal & resale value.

Complete treatment

An epoxy floor with decorative flake and protective top coat was the start of this project - including the steps leading to the house and the stem walls.
Powder Coated cabinets came next - uppers and lowers, OmniTrack aluminum slatwall to hang garden tools and two tire racks completed the treatment.
(Bike sold separately).

Stylish walkway

This extended walkway, leading from the garage to the front door lacked the 'welcome' factor.
PremierOne Hybrid Flooring System in ColorMica was the answer. Mica, a natural stone with a reflective shine adds depth and contrast as the sun reflects upon it. The top coat is resistant to salt and water damage and will add years of 'welcome home' to the home.

Built-in library

This family room built-in library (one of two) was perfect for these travel buffs.
Books, travel cases and souvenirs are all displayed and within reach on either side of the fireplace.
A perfect place to plan the next adventure.

Small space solution

This small house has, of course, small bedrooms and even smaller closets.
To overcome the storage problem and keep an attractive look in this impeccably maintained house, it needed a built-in armoir.
Designed in White finish, the upper section has a clothes rod behind decorative doors and the lower section has soft-close drawers.

His & Hers reach-ins

This his & hers reach-in project is a great example of efficiency, organization, and balance all with balance for each user.
'Hers' consists of a long-hang section, wider drawers and space for shoes.
'His' consists of double-hang, narrower drawers and shelving for sweaters and tees.
The clean look, in white, makes for attractive and functional spaces.

Open air, covered patio

This covered patio is a perfect place to spend weekend afternoons and evenings entertaining.
Open fireplace, wood pizza oven, lap spa and hot tub, gas barbecues and an inviting seating area all demanded something better than a dull concrete floor.
Our PremierOne Hybrid Flooring System, shown here in ColorMica was the answer. An epoxy base means a great bonding agent to the substrate, the mica - a naturally brilliant stone for a great look and anti-slip factor and finally a polyaspartic top coat to protect it all for years.
A entertainment area to be proud of (and brag about...)

A polyaspartic top coat was then applied to seal the flake and epoxy, ensuring a resilient and long lasting floor coating.

This garage in Streetsville was given a ‘Graphite’ look and will be an attractive and functional base for a make-over the owners plan on starting in this fall.

STEP 1- Evolution of a bare to epoxy-coated concrete floor

The process begins with an inspection of the concrete floor to be epoxied. This determines the condition of the concrete itself, identifies moisture content as well as any issues such as cracks, divots, spalling and erosion from water and/or salt. Static hairline cracks are acceptable but any crack larger than 1/8 inch must be ground out and repaired with an epoxy filler. Larger cracks or divots must be filled with an epoxy cement to minimize shrinking or drooping.

STEP 2 - Evolution of a bare to epoxy-coated concrete floor

Once these cracks and divots are repaired, grinding of the floor begins. This is one of the most critical steps in an epoxy floor project. As concrete is porous, the top 'skin' of concrete must be removed to reveal these pores allowing maximum adhesion of the epoxy to the concrete. Failure to remove this 'skin' will result in poor adhesion and eventual failure of 'disbonding' of any coating.

STEP 3 - Evolution of a bare to epoxy-coated concrete floor

Grinding complete, the Sika two-part epoxy is applied, the flakes broadcast to refusal and the floor allowed to cure.

STEP 4 - Evolution of a bare to epoxy-coated concrete floor

The epoxy coat fully hardened, a top coat of Sika two-part poly-aspartic is applied and permitted to cure. Walking on the floor is recommended only after 12 hours and driving only after 48 hours after application is complete. This epoxy / poly-aspartic floor will give years of curb appeal while being resistant to day-to-day human and vehicular traffic. It should also increase your property's value.

We’ve applied an epoxy base flooring in Brampton with poly-aspartic top coat using ColorMicas™ signature blend flakes. The benefits and design opportunities are endless. It provides stain resistance and UV protection, it doesn’t harbour dirt or bacteria and will resist leaks from automobiles.

A garage makeover in Ajax

A furnace room in an Ajax home

We applied an epoxy base coat with 1/8 inch ColorFlakes (in Dessert colour) and a poly-aspartic top coat in a furnace room in Ajax. Like many homes, the furnace room is located in the basement, next to a completely finished and carpeted area. Since the furnace room doubles as a hobby centre in this home, it is now easier to keep clean and won’t track dust or dirt particles in other areas of the house.
